Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesAlfred Blue (4) is already out with an injury, and it appears fullback J.C. Copeland might be as well.

Fullback J.C. Copeland, a valuable part of the run-first offense, left Saturday's 38-22 win over Towson with a knee injury. He later had ice put on the knee and he left the field on crutches, putting no weight on the injured leg.

Asked about Copeland's status, LSU coach Les Miles said "We still have a couple fullbacks there we can line up and play with. Obviously we don't have J.C."
